Pistachio Latte is one of the newest additions to the Starbucks coffee family.
The basic ingredients are coffee, steamed milk, vanilla syrup, and pistachio syrup.
I want to say ‘get your hands on one while you still can’ but the way these are selling, this latte is sticking around.

Toffee Nut Latte is a lesser-known get at Starbucks most people have never heard of.
It’s a blend of espresso, vanilla syrup, and toffee nut syrup, topped with steamed milk, whipped cream, and toffee nut topping.
The taste is sweet with a chocolatey aftertaste. It has less caffeine than the average brewed coffee.
6. Peach Tranquility
Peach Tranquility is a fan favorite at Starbucks. It’s a fusion of apple, peach, and pineapple mixed with chamomile flowers.
The tea has a bold peachy color that stands out from the rest of the drinks on our list.
It tastes like a sweet peach tea, but with an underlying taste of hibiscus.
7. Starbucks Reserve Hazelnut Bianco Latte
Starbucks Reserve Hazelnut Bianco Latte is a drink everyone needs to try at least once! It tastes a bit like Nutella so be careful, it might become your new favorite.
It smells as delicious as you can probably imagine. Next time you’re at your favorite coffee shop give this hazelnut latte a shot.
8. Caramel Macchiato
Caramel Macchiato is one of the most popular drinks at Starbucks.
There’s a ton of avid coffee drinkers who are yet to try this instant classic.
For a creamy drink with a delightful caramel flavor, ask for a Caramel Macchiato made with a blend of whole milk and non-fat milk.
9. Pumpkin Spice Latte
Pumpkin Spice Latte is Starbucks’ fall flavor and has been on the menu since 2003.
It is made from espresso, steamed milk, pumpkin syrup, and spices. It has around 250mg of caffeine in a Grande serving.
No need to explain this one any further, I’m sure you already know about it!
10. Caffè Misto
Caffè Misto is one of the newest drinks added to the Starbucks menu.
It is a combination of brewed coffee and steamed milk.
The drink is made with 3% espresso and 97% steamed milk.
Caffè Misto also has fewer calories than most drinks at Starbucks.

Toasted White Chocolate Mocha is a delicious mixture of white chocolate sauce, milk, espresso, and coffee.
It’s perfect if you like sweeter drinks.
In my opinion, it is one of the best hot drinks that you can have at Starbucks. I would recommend trying this drink if you have not already.
12. Honey Citrus Mint Tea
Honey Citrus Mint Tea is a unique and refreshing vitamin-packed tea.
It is a blend of mint, orange, and just the right amount of honey, making it the healthiest drink on the list.
Despite its low caffeine content (15mg), it packs a solid punch of energy.
Online it’s often called the Starbucks Medicine Ball!
13. Matcha Tea Latte
Matcha Tea Latte is a good choice to drink when you’re at Starbucks.
It is a hot, green tea-based drink that has cinnamon and honey flavors as well as a sweet, rich, nutty taste.
The Matcha Tea Latte is a good source of antioxidants with 80 mg of caffeine per serving.
14. Cinnamon Dolce Crème
This drink is a blend of white chocolate and cinnamon flavors combined with steamed milk and a sprinkling of dolce syrup that gives it its flavor.
Cinnamon Dolce Crème has a very smooth texture and is extremely sweet with a fluffy texture due to all the whipped cream.
15. Caramel Apple Spice
Caramel Apple Spice is available iced or hot with your choice of milk.
It tastes just like a caramel apple, which makes it perfect for the fall season. You can also get it blended with ice if that’s more your style.

Caffè Americano is a shot or two of espresso added to a glass of hot water.
It’s one of the most common coffee drinks popular around the world, yet no one does it quite like Starbucks.
An Americano is a caffeine packed drink with a black coffee taste.
18. Chai Tea Latte
Chai Tea Latte is a popular tea available hot or cold, and it’s delicious both ways.
I like to get a venti and add some sugar-free vanilla syrup and half & half for creaminess, but you can customize it however you want.
My favorite Chai Tea Latte is a little spicy, a little sweet, and the perfect pick-me-up for a cold day!
